Is my feeling bad about this making it better? What rule (belief) must I have in order to feel bad in this situation?''

Are you moving toward your goals or away from them? Do you need to make a course correction? Are you enjoying life to the fullest? If not, make a change in one of these areas now.

They encourage each other because they understand the other's priorities help them to be successful. Compatible goals promote trust. People expect help and assistance from others and are confident that they can rely on others; it is, after all, in others' self-interest to help.

Remember that your brain is always trying to move you away from pain, so think about all the negative consequences this belief has caused.
